I use 527 jewelry glue, but other glues will work. Rubber cement is good on leather too. I cut the leather just enough larger than the cabochon for the row of stitching for the beginning coil. I was given some leather blanks and they were doubled with a metal insert in between the leather pieces for firmness. I use large cabochons and tight stitching and there is no give in the center of the basket.
